Caveat: as usual, this is not my upload. I am merely directing you to somebody else's upload.

The Magnetic Fields

I love these guys. You know Lemony Snicket, the author? He plays accordion for them!
This album is called I and here is the track listing:

I Die
I Don't Believe You
I Don't Really Love You Anymore
I Looked All Over Town Listen
I Thought You Were My Boyfriend
I Was Born
I Wish I Had An Evil Twin
If There's Such A Thing As Love
I'm Tongue-Tied
In An Operetta
Infinitely Late At Night
Irma
Is This What They Used To Call Love
It's Only Time

The opening line of my current favourite, "I don't believe you" is:

So you quote love unquote me
Well, stranger things have come to be
But let's agree to disagree
'Cause I don't believe you
I don't believe you

Another really good part from "I don't really love you anymore" is:

Because I am a gentleman
Think of me as just your fan
Who remembers every dress you ever wore
Just the bad comedian
Your new boyfriend's better than
'Cause I don't really love you anymore

I LOVE IT!

The Magnetic Fields have several other albums, and infact some members, by multiple other names, make up other bands including The Gothic Archies. The GA's have a whole album called The Tragic Treasury where they sing one song for each book in A Series of Unfortunate Events. Here is Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket) singing with Stephen Merritt:



(Interesting aside: When the final installment came out last October, Daniel was in NY and the Barnes and Noble and Union Square. He was wilding entertaining. This isn't from this, but its another live performance just as good: see him here, here, here, here and here.)
